JPH02281316A - Pointing device used without being passed from one hand to the other and keyboard - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To resolve trouble by using a pointing device on a keyboard as it is without releasing a hand from the keyboard to pass the pointing device to this hand from the other. CONSTITUTION:A mouse 2 is set to one hand by a mouse setting device 7, and a keyboard input/pointing device input mode switching button 6 is depressed with the other hand at the time of mouse input. When the hand to which the mouse is set is moved in a sensor part 5, which detects the position of the pointing device, to perform click, the sensor part 5 which detects the position of the pointing device of the keyboard 1 picks the click. Since the button 6 is attached to the right and the left and the sensor part 5 which detects the position of the pointing device can be set by a user, the mouse 12 can be used in either of light and left hands.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a pointing device and a keyboard.

[Conventional technology]

FIG.
A perspective view of the pointing device and keyboard of the 00 series (Document number T6-11ROO-05A<
7880>), (1) is the keyboard, (2)
is a mouse (pointing device), and (4) is a pad.

Next, a conventional input method using a mouse will be explained. If you are using the keyboard (1) manually and need to input using the mouse (2), move either your left or right hand over the mouse (2) and move the mouse (2) over the pad (4). let The manual effort is completed by clicking the mouse button (3) at the position where the mouse (2) input is required.

Furthermore, if you need to input using the keyboard (1) while inputting using the mouse (2), you can move the hand you used to operate the mouse (2) to the keyboard (1) and hit the keys. Input by .

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As described above, in the conventional method of using a pointing device, when using a pointing device while using a keyboard, it is necessary to take one's hands off the keyboard and switch to the pointing device. Additionally, hand movement is required when transitioning from using a pointing device to using a keyboard. There were problems with this keyboard, such as the time it took to move hands between pointing devices and the cumbersomeness of movement.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it eliminates the need to switch between the pointing device and the keyboard when switching from using the keyboard to using the pointing device, or vice versa. The purpose of this invention is to obtain a pointing device and a keyboard that can be used in

[Means to solve the problem]

In the pointing device and keyboard according to the present invention, a user attaches the pointing device to his/her hand,
By switching to the pointing device input mode when changing from using the keyboard to using the pointing device, the pointing device can be used on the keyboard.

[Effect]

The pointing device and keyboard of the present invention, which do not need to be carried around, allow the pointing device to be worn in the hand, and the keyboard is equipped with a sensor function keyboard input that detects the position of the pointing device, and an input mode switching button for pointing device input. Therefore, you can easily transition from keyboard input to pointing device input, and from pointing device input to keyboard input.

[Embodiments of the invention]

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1st
In the figure, (1) is a keyboard, and (2) is a mouse, which is a pointing device.

(3) is a mouse button (5) attached to a position that can be clicked with a finger to point from the mouse (2), and is part of a sensor that detects the position of the mouse (2). (
6) is the keyboard input to activate the sensor part (5), and the mouse input switch button (7) is the mouse input (
2) is a mouse mounting device that can be worn on the user's hand.

Next, the operation of a pointing device and a keyboard that do not require switching will be described as an embodiment of the present invention. Attach the mouse (2) to the hand using the mouse using the mouse attachment device (7), and when performing mouse input, press the mode switching button (6) for keyboard input or pointing device input with the hand that is not using the mouse. While pressing the mouse, if you move your hand using the mouse within the sensor part (5) that detects the position of the pointing device and click, the sensor part (5) that detects the position of the pointing device of the keyboard (1) will click. pick up. In addition, keyboard input and pointing device input mode switching buttons (6) are attached to the left and right, and the position of the sensor part (5) that detects the position of the pointing device can be set by the user, so the mouse (2) can be used with either left or right hand.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, when a user uses a keyboard and a pointing device together, the keyboard,
Since you can work with your hands on the keyboard without having to switch hands between pointing devices, the hassle of using a pointing device is eliminated, and it is also easier for those who do not use the pointing device to operate while using the pointing device. You can use your hands effectively.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a pointing device and keyboard that do not require changing hands, which is an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a conventional mouse and keyboard. In the figure, (1) is the keyboard, (2) is the mouse, (3)
is a mouse button, (4) is a pad, (5) is a sensor part, (6) is a switching button, and (7) is a mouse mounting device. Note that in the two figures, the same reference numerals indicate the same or equivalent parts.

Claims (1)

[Claims] A pointing device and a keyboard that do not require handholding, characterized in that when using the pointing device, the user does not have to take his hand off the keyboard and switch to the pointing device, and can use the pointing device as is on the keyboard.
